Thanks. Do you think that means the drive is breaking down and I should replace it? I burned a few discs after those failed verifications and they burned fine.

I've tried burning 2 different Bluray ISO images using the Verify option. Both times Verify stops at 97-99% with this error message: "cannot read medium incompatible format". The discs are BD-R Pidata AAA-CMC (HTL with Dark Inorganic Dye) 25GB 4x. I'm only burning at 4x. I've burned to many of those discs before to the same drive without issues and from the same image on a hard drive so why do I get that error message saying incompatible format? Log is below. I click on Try Again but I soon get that error again. I cancel the Verify window then close and re-open the program then do another Verify and it gives the error again. But if I close and re-open the program and try burning onto a new blank disc then verification works! Why? Does it matter what read speed the Verification is done at with regards to the speed causing failed verifications as I just leave it on max read speed? I 07:30:15 Operation Started!

Any other programs for discs with both audio and video? At the moment I'm trying to read a Doom shovelware CD called "Cobra Utilities for Doom & Doom II" from 1995. It's just a data CD and the disc looks to be in mint condition. When I try to create an ISO at max read speed it says "A timeout has occured whilst parsing the ISO9660 file system". I clicked on Yes to tell it to give more time to finish but the error pops up again after several seconds. If I click No then it starts creating the ISO. Why's it giving an error if it IS able to create an ISO? Anyway, in the end, I just cancelled everything and restarted the ISO creation process and this time it started creating the ISO without showing me the error message. Any idea what all of that was about? Log is below: I 20:26:44 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

Thanks. Do you know of any other programs that can check both data and audio tracks / sectors for errors such as missing data due to bit rot?

Hi, I've got a few game CDs/DVDs and game demo discs which nobody else has uploaded anywhere online so while I can create a hash of a CD I have nothing to compare it against to check if my CDs have bitrot or not. Is there a way to check for bitrot/missing data with ImgBurn when backing up to an image if I have no other file to compare my image backup with? Will ImgBurn simply fail to create a backup image if the disc has bitrot because data is missing? Also what image formats should I backup games to for game with and without redbook audio? How many different types are there? Thanks

Is the iaStorF.sys actually needed? What does it do? Is it safe to delete? I've deleted it and my drives are still burning fine.

Thanks for your help. It seems that updating the firmware fixed the issues for both drives. Very weird as they were working fine the past few months. now I've burned lots of discs on both drives set to SPTI. I was wondering, here's my filter driver load order: http://postimg.org/image/men3a1xo1/ Do you think any of those things would have been causing problems with regards to IO errors, etc? I removed the GearASPIWDM which I think was from iTunes. Not sure if the AnyDVD was causing problems but I removed that as well. Note that I don't have AnyDVD open when using ImgBurn. Any idea what the iaStorF is from? I removed that as well.

My bios says Sata Mode is AHCI. I'm using just 1 of the Bluray drives now for further testing of this issue. When the drive is connected to a SATA II port with a red SATA II cheap cable I got off Ebay or a high quality cable from Scan I get an IO error or miscompare when Verifying either immediately or after a few burns. I also have a Supermicro card installed in a x8 slot which adds 8 SATA III ports. I have the following cables connected to it: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3ware-multi-lane-sff8087-to-4x-sata-fan-out-cable-05-metres-single-cable When I connect the cables from that card to the Bluray drive I didn't get any problems (I got no issues after burning 16 discs). Why would I only get problems when using my motherboard's internal SATA ports yet I don't get any issues when using the SATA card? I also tried using the drive in a another Windows 8 PC I have. That PC has minimal software installed as I only use it for video capture so there was never anything listed in the Filter Driver Load Order other than the Bluray drive. Yet I still had to run Microsoft fix it for it to fix something there before it would burn. Very strange. I was also using a different cable that time and most of the time when I try to start a burn it just gets stuck on "Reserving Track" before it even starts the burn. I could never get it working. What do you think the problem is on that PC? That PC was also running in AHCI mode. I also noticed that in "Computer" the drive (with blank disc in) is listed as having 22.5GB capacity instead of 23.3GB.

My bios says Sata Mode is AHCI.

Is there nothing else I can do? I've installed the series 7 chipsets is v13.1 driver you mentioned and restarted my PC. Same problem. Problem happens with both drives. Restarting my PC every time I get an I/O error/drive disappears, is fine but I'd like to actually get to the root of the problem and fix it. Please help mate. Here's my Filter Driver Load Order. Is there anything wrong here?: http://postimg.org/image/men3a1xo1/ Is there a particular drive and motherboard you could recommend that won't have this issue? I could use Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit. I also put my Bluray drive inside a spare Windows 8 PC I have which has minimal software installed. So basically there's nothing installed that could interfere with the burning of discs. It was on SPTI. Filter Driver Load order on that only had the Bluray drive mentioned so I figured it would work without problems. I didn't burn at all at first. I ran Microsoft fix it and it said it fixed a problem with the Filter Driver Load Order. How could there be a problem if there's nothing installed apart from the drive? Anyway after that I burned a few discs OK then I tried to burn another disc and ImgBurn is stuck on "reserving track". It won't let me stop it. Here's the log I copied while it was on reserving track: I 13:07:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

.

Do what? Turn my PC off then on again? I did that and tried to burn a disc and it failed with an I/O error half way through burning. I inserted another disc and it failed immediately with the same issue as soon as it started burning. Log is here: http://pastebin.com/dVdSJ0qL

Hi, I did that and it's working again. But again after several days of burning ImgBurn can't see the drive again and the drive is missing from Device Manager.

I installed the series 7 chipsets is v13.1 driver you mentioned. I burned a disc in each drive. One of the drives worked fine. The other burned the disc but got stuck at 0% when Verifying the disc. I cancelled it and it said "Waiting for Read Thread (Device)". It wouldn't close. Before I ended the process I copied the log here: http://pastebin.com/y1q4BVpc I opened ImgBurn again and it said searching for SCSI/ATAPI devices. I also couldn't eject the disc from the problem drive. What should I do now?

No. Do you have a link to somewhere where I can download the latest driver? Is there anything else I can do or is my only option to download a driver?
